Time-dependent shortest paths in treelike graphs

Creator:: Shirley, Morgan
Abstract:: We present a proof that the number of breakpoints in the arrival function between two terminals in graphs of treewidth ω is n^(O(log²ω) when the edge arrival functions are piecewise linear. This is an improvement on the bound of n^(Θ(log n))by Foschini, Hershberger, and Suri for graphs without any bound...

Alternative approaches to psychosis : qualitative interviews of practitioner opinions and observations

Creator:: Donnerberg, Carmen
Abstract:: The present essay discusses themes of dehumanization and reliance on a biomedical model of care within U.S. psychiatric systems in treating individuals diagnosed with psychosis. This model is contrasted with alternative treatment approaches that are person-centered rather than disease-centered. These include Open Dialogue, Soteria, and Hearing Voices Movement. In the...

Corporate Social Responsibility: An Assessment of Motives and Implications

Creator:: Arora, Aarushi
Abstract:: Recent years have been marked with increasing rates of corporate scandals, environmental disasters, and unfair labor practices, drawing attention to the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Despite increasing efforts in CSR, past research has shown increased levels of mistrust and skepticism from consumers towards business. Furthermore, the very issues...

Whatever It Takes : Examining the effects of post-arrest diversion and reentry programs on the success of mental health court participants

Creator:: Sinclair, Amanda C.
Abstract:: Reducing recidivism rates and raising success rates for individuals who experience mental or behavioral distress and have been through the legal system is the key to lowering the expenditure of valuable resources including time and judicial budget. Regardless, little research attention has been given to post-arrest diversion programming and reentry...

The Effectiveness of Social Entrepreneurship in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Creator:: Triplett, Hannah L
Abstract:: Researchers have studied social entrepreneurship and offered detailed road maps of the process of becoming a successful social entrepreneur. However, these processes are not universal and will not function sustainably in every community. The idea that we do not know if a process will work within a community until tested...

Diet analysis of Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) from stomach contents off the coast of Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Doran, Renee E.
Abstract:: Black Rockfish are important commercial and recreational species and understanding their biology is useful in developing best management practices. A common means to assess diet in both freshwater and marine fishes is stomach content analysis, which can determine diet composition and infer foraging behaviors. We conducted a stomach content analysis...

Wavelength Dependence of the Scattering of Small Particles by Sunlight

Creator:: Bain, Scott A.
Abstract:: This project calculates the value of β for ice particles based on wavelength dependent values of their refractive and absorptive indices. β is the ratio of the force due to radiation to the force due to gravity acting on a particle in the solar system. This parameter can later be...

The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Mergers and Acquisitions

Creator:: Morgan, Scott M.
Abstract:: This study examines the effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on merger and acquisitions (M&A). Using data from Kinder, Lyndeberg, and Domini (KLD) Research Analytics and Thomson’s Securities Data Corporation’s (SDC) Platinum Database, we empirically test if CSR scores effect a firm’s propensity to pursue M&A activity. Specifically, I examine...

Robotic path-planning through dynamic maps

Creator:: Bowie, Cameron Scott
Abstract:: Robotic global navigation is often based on the assumption that the world is static. It assumes that obstacles present in maps will be there later and new obstacles will be dealt with by a local planning algorithm. When robots interact in an environment inhabited by people, this assumption does not...

Analysis of Penetration and Reserve Requirements when Incorporating Renewable Energy Power Generation in the Bonneville Power Administration Balancing Authority Area

Creator:: Harpool, Scott E.
Abstract:: Interest in renewable energy is on the rise, in both grid-connected operations and research projects. Major types of renewable energy include: wind, solar, wave, tidal, biomass, and geothermal. The majority are variable, non-dispatchable sources, which can have a negative impact on reserve requirements. This study focused on determining the optimal...
